The Global Atlas tool is an outcome of a joint initiative between the units of VAM and School Feeding which tries to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective. Part of this tool are a multi-thematic geo-referenced database and maps. The map illustrates the development of the adult literacy between 1980 and 2000 as changes in percent. The Global Atlas tool aims to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective in order to prioritise interventions.
